How Heather works

She also helps with social anxiety and phobia by practicing ways to face uncomfortable situations and build confidence. <br=Heather brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice and holds the LPCC credential.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Heather draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and real-life practice. One common approach helps people learn clear coping strategies for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance. Another approach centers on processing trauma and building safety skills, offering ways to manage intense memories and gradually regain control over daily functioning. These methods are practical and aimed at improving how people handle current stresses and triggers.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Heather collaborates with each person to identify goals, tries methods that match those goals, and adjusts as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps find what fits best for a person's needs and comfort level.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls are useful for fuller face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text are practical for quick check-ins, journaling between sessions, and sharing updates when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.
